"The pay-as-you-play deal" - whenever a potential signing is rumoured or suggested who is obviously a) too fcking old, b) too fcking expensive, c) qualifying for a hip replacement on the NHS, d) one of life's genuine arseholes who's blown up every dressing room he's ever been in, instead of dismissing the idea out of hand one is duty bound to suggest a pay-as-you-play deal. That he wouldn't accept this, and that this doesn't really exist, is irrelevant.
"Digging down" - whenever discussing the merits of a new stadium, of trying to redevelop the one we already have, one is duty bound to suggest digging Loftus Road down into the ground. The fact this would also dig it down into the water table and effectively create a world leading water polo venue for a good six months a year is also irrelevant. Will also accept "building out over South Africa Road" and "adding a revolving restaurant".
"Les was crap to start with as well" - whenever debating the ability or otherwise of a new striker, due consideration must always be given to the fact Les Ferdinand was total dog sht when he first got here. Please see three years of Conor Washington debate, or 17 pages (and counting) on Lyndon Dykes' move to Birmingham.

'He's not playing in his proper position' as an excuse for a player playing in a very slightly different part of the pitch, and trying to cover up for basic things like not being able to trap a ball. | |

"These guys don't do failure" upon arrival or rumoured interest from any shiny new semi-qualified business charlatan(s) in a suit with £500 worth of nectar points to throw our way. | | | |

‘Mental health issues’ whenever a player is a little too fond of a pint/cocaine/clubbing/skipping training or generally taking the piss out of the club and supporters. | | | |

'Chelsea have had a good transfer window.'
They've bought up anyone who has been mentioned as agitating for a move in one of the major European leagues and now have to build a new training ground to accommodate all of the squad while their press department writes urgent articles round the clock about how useful Sterling would be at Arsenal/Man U.
'It caught the guy in the shin but he's not that kind of player to do it deliberately'
Said about any reckless tackle committed by a player from a club that has a lot of fans who watch Sky. [Post edited 29 Aug 18:18]

"Can't we just buy up all the houses in Ellerslie Road and the school at the School end too" - Sure, if you fancy committing something like £75m+ just to buy all the flats (please remember, they are flats, not houses)/school and having to deal with hundreds of leaseholders, landlords/freeholders, solicitors which would take probably years to get over the line and all of that is before you even then take into account demolition and removal costs. - same subject matter as per "digging down". | | | |

He’s lost the dressing room.
Even though there’s a sign on the door. | | | |

"give it to Neil Warnock until the end of the season" - When we lose a couple in November, every year without fail. Including this year I bet. He'll be long dead and people will still be saying it. | |

We need to sign young,hungry players from the lower leagues. Also we should hire that ex player as coach. | | | |

"Eze"
A sign that half the forum is about to w@nk itself to death because of something he's just done for Palace. | |

"Water pressure in the toilets"
Whenever it's coming up to Fan's Forum time, someone will bring this up.
I would like us to also repeat the time someone went on at length about their son getting released. Would like to see Nourry talk about how said son didn't show enough human curiosity or problem solving acumen | | | |

This wasn’t meant as a dig at you! It was simply adding to the glossary of LFW phrases. Sounds like the COVID I had a couple of weeks ago. Knocked me out for 72 hours [Post edited 29 Aug 19:28]
